Where to find lots of Superballs of one colour?

BouncyBallFilter - I'm looking for a place where I can buy a large quantity of Superballs (like the ones in the Sony Bravia advert). I can find lots of them using Google, but not those that I want.
More specific, I'm looking for about 20.000 bouncy balls of the same colour (blue). Ideally the supplier should be able to print a logo and/or a text on them. Anyone knows where to find those? The only thing I can find are mixed bags from vending machine refill suppliers.

With lights? Kinda spendy, though.
I took a swing through some of the "custom logo/imprintables" catalogs we get in our marketing department, and I didn't see anything that seemed quite right.
These guys have done custom work for us before. I see lots of "lots" of balls, I'm sure they'd do a quote for a custom order.

Best answer: Oriental Trading Company has a few ... most of them are in assorted colors though.

Don't know how to do a link, but this vendor might work:

Best answer: When I've needed the same sort of thing I've used Gulf Coast Vending where you can get lots of 2000 superballs (27mm) for just under a hundred bucks. My experience with the company was great, many wholesale places don't like selling to individuals and when we poured about six thousand of these balls down an empty seven story building's stair case it was great fun.

I don't have an answer, but...
If the purpose of this is to end up in a video, doing a computer sim would be a much better choice.
Of course, lots of fun can be had with bouncy balls, so you probably aren't doing this [just] for a video.

I bought a huge amount of bouncy balls a few years back and funneled them into my friends vehicle via the sunroof (he had a habit of leaving it cracked while he was at work). We managed to fill the car to the roof. Needless to say, when he saw the vehicle it was definitely a 'Kodak' moment.

Response by poster: Thanks everyone for your suggestions! (For the curious: it's not for a video, rather to hand out as a gadget for an ad campaign. Thanks to your posts I was able to come up with a rough cost estimate, now it's up to the clients to decide wether they want the idea or not.)
